- Q&A -

Q&A serves as a forum for examining the deeper themes of my creative work through the lenses that fascinate me most.
I believe the most remarkable breakthroughs happen in the liminal spaces—the "in-between"—and this project is dedicated to navigating that territory.

Is my work simply a vehicle for discovery? Absolutely.

In my work, my role is to be a multimedia architect who believes in true connection between disciplines. My identity is forged at the intersection of graphic design, music engineering, and cinematic storytelling.

I’ve been building visual worlds since I was six years old, translating the plastic art influence of my father into a digital landscape where I now act as a multidisciplinary translator, guide and counselor. I take raw human intention and build the technical bridge necessary for it to become a reality. 

My "tools" are an extension of my artistic background. I don't just "edit video" or "make a beat"; I try to mix in the whole spectrum and take the best from each can give me. On any given day, I am moving between Photoshop for photorealistic editing and graphic design, Illustrator for vertex, Premiere for video, and FL Studio or ProTools for audio engineering.

Even with Adobe, Google, OpenAI, Meta and other’s AIs becoming better at multitasking multimedia, having the traditional roots down makes me have the context and the criteria to take the correct decisions guiding the intelligent tools. Because I understand the "roots" of each medium, I can ensure that the visual pulse of a project perfectly matches its artistic heart, whether I'm working for a global brand or a niche artistic project. 

Every project is concept-driven. Before I touch a computer, I look for the "oddities"—the unique, human traits of a brand or an artist that make them stand out. I treat design as a laboratory where we test the limits of the analog and the digital.

I don't follow a pre-set formula; I lead and follow the brand’s journey. I start with a strategy to identify the brand’s voice, move to art direction to form the aesthetic language, and only then do I move toward the project’s completion.

In every project I work on, I try to start from the root purpose of the brand’s existence to begin with. Because the computer is a medium and a tool, not the source of inspiration. When I sit face-to-face with a client, I need the vulnerability of a pencil to pin down the key ideas that an algorithm might smooth over.

The notebook is my anchor to reality. I like to reflect over what really is bringing true value to a brand. More than the effect of relevance, the unique purpose in the brand’s voice. I often carry a camera to capture street-level inspiration that later becomes the foundation of high-tech workflow. It ensures that the "soul" of the work stays human before the digital processing begins. 

The models available offer extreme speed, but somehow still lack intent. My role is to provide the "why" behind the "what." I started designing at age six, watching my father—a master plastic artist—translate human truth onto canvas. That foundational pulse is something an algorithm cannot replicate. I don’t just "prompt" an AI; I command it through a hybrid workflow where my expertise in photorealistic editing, music production, and art direction acts as the main filter. To me, AI is a "medium," not the formula itself. If you rely solely on the machine, you produce "safe design"—predictable and hollow. I use my technical depth in tools like Stable Diffusion—even having created my own checkpoint files before Higgsfield or Sora 2.0 came out—to ensure the output is a unique reflection of a specific human concept, not a generic average of the internet. My expertise allows me to guide the machine into "uncomfortable routes" where true innovation lives.


I don't let the system or the machine drive the core process; I use it as a high-speed engine for my own vision. I’ve been an early adopter since DALL-E 1, even creating my own checkpoint files in Stable Diffusion to ensure the AI speaks my specific visual language.

My workflow is strictly hybrid. If you use AI alone, you are merely referencing someone else's work indirectly. I push the machine into "uncomfortable routes" to find a supernatural outcome that a standard prompt could never produce. 

It is in my blood. My father, Andrés Fasel, is a master creative director and plastic artist who taught me the value of a steady pulse and a curious mind. While he mastered the physical world of mockups and paintings, I expanded that legacy into the multimedia realm—adding video and music production to the family toolkit.

Being a creator with this early guidance means I am never satisfied with what I know; I am constantly transcending my own limitations to learn the next discipline to further fill in the gaps of my own creative inquiries.

Teaching over 50 students in UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires) taught me that my job isn't to impart "technical skills," but to foster critical thinking. In a public university setting, I promoted a "horizontal education" where doubt is more valuable than certainty.

I wanted my students to experiment without fear because failure and experimentation is a vital part of the game. That plurality of voices is what keeps my own professional perspective wholesome, empathetic, and always open to new cultures.

My work with clients like Lucas Roitman (Stanford graduate) is about creative translation. Someone with a brilliant logical mind often needs a guide to step into the realm of raw emotion. I took his logical decisions and translated them into creative thoughts and core artistic decisions, guiding his transition into the music industry.

I guide by providing a "vision" that they can trust, using my multidisciplinary expertise to connect the dots between their ambition and the final artistic product.

Prek is my emotional laboratory. It is where I "drain" my most visceral life experiences—heartbreak, growth, and personal crisis—into music and video productions. It is 100% independent; I write, produce, and direct every second of it. By filtering my own life story through Prek, I stay "artistically fit." I inspire myself with this self project and I let loose my own artistic drive and style, so that I can truly connect to the client’s perspective with an open mind.

It allows me to bring a depth of meaning to commercial projects for clients like Netflix, Nike or Coca-Cola that producers without a personal "soul project" simply cannot reach.



Because true innovation comes from knowing “safe design” and moving beyond. If you aren't willing to risk the result, you'll only ever achieve what is already known territory. I deliberately put myself and my clients in “places of crisis” during the process to generate a breakthrough that is unique and original.

I believe that I have to experience a core place of ignorance, to get to the point of bridging the dots and creating an valuable concept to work from. That is when the work stops being just "effective" and starts being purposeful

To generate a selling emotion that sticks and becomes key.. I started making GIFs, animations and emoticones at six years old just to see my friends smile; that fundamental desire to provoke a reaction is still my North Star. I am a storyteller of truths.

My purpose is to use my entire multidisciplinary toolkit to build an attractive reality charged with meaning, ensuring that every project I touch leaves a permanent mark on the human spirit, specially in today’s short form content era.

Leadership is about empathy and critical thinking, two things AI cannot simulate. In my time as a design teacher, I progressively realized that I wasn’t just teaching technical skills; I taught students to doubt, to experiment without fear, and to find their own voices. This horizontal approach to education is what I bring to professional production. When I worked with Lucas Roitman—a Stanford graduate with a brilliant logical mind—my job was to translate his logic into creative emotion.

I am a "multidisciplinary translator". Because I understand the "roots" of sound engineering, video editing, and graphic identity, I can connect the dots between disparate fields. AI can’t understand the "spark of innovation" that happens when an architect, a musician, and a designer collaborate; but it can be an amazing tool and I foster that independent action within a collective vision.

METHODOLOGY.

01.

Purpose Driven Strategy

The process begins with concept-driven work, where the primary goal is to identify the unique "voice" and "rarities" of a brand or project. This stage involves deep strategic thinking to determine how to position the work uniquely across multiple media platforms.

02.

Art Direction

Once the strategy and concept are established, comes art direction. In this phase, he takes the conceptual tools from the first step and begins forming preliminary creative thoughts and visual frameworks. This is often where he bridges the gap between a client's logical directives and raw creative emotion.

03.

Project Completion

The final stage is the completion of the project. Having identified the core "soul" of the work, Lautaro "plays with the system"—often using a hybrid workflow that integrates generative AI with human intuition—to finalize the product connected with the client's vision.
He emphasizes documenting the entire journey, from initial sketches and physical notebook notes to the final photorealistic or audiovisual output, to ensure the methodology remains transparent and unique.
